Aphrodite

Just like her namesake, you will fall head of heels for this gorgeous mango masterpiece. Mugler Angel Eau Croiserie 2019 (the mango one) has long held a special place in my heart. But I dumped my old girlfriend fast for this new stunner, because Aphrodite has two things that the Mugler Mango lacks: longevity, and the delicious addition of coconut. I can still smell Aphrodite on my wrist 8 hours later (shocking for any fruity freshie), and the projection is also much improved. But it's her superior formulation that's really breathtaking. This tropical beauty will transport you to that fantasy world of sitting by a sandy beach, gazing at crystal-clear azure waters with a fresh, crisp Mango daquiri in your hand. The addition of the Lotus and Palm Leaf perfect the vision, while the soft aquatic notes mellow her out. While she is still flirty, youthful, sweet and fun, she has a lot more maturity, complexity and grown-up sexiness than your run-of-the-mill fruity mall spray. She is a bit tarter than your average bear too, with a hint of lime? or subtle sharpness that makes the mango more realistic and less "girly." I've kissed a lot of mango frogs on my journey (many are too synthetic/fake, ruining the fantasy), and this one is hands-down my new favorite. Got to try a sample of this through a travelling sample box thanks to our incredible fragrance community. I literally squealed with joy when I saw this one in the box, because I was already thinking of blind buying it based on the notes and the 2023 award here (I trust you guys a lot ;-). But there is nothing worse than a bad blind buy when your expectations are high, so I was still on the fence because I've been disappointed by so many mango duds that have just run off on me after 5 sprays and 15 minutes. After wearing her for two days straight, my expectations have been far exceeded, and I couldn't be happier that I got to take her for a test drive before proposing. Aphrodite and I are officially getting married. FB here I come.

The opening is very sweet and fruity and I find the Mango to be the most prominent note that is present at all times. Once it dries down, the scent becomes creamy with the addition of the Coconut and Aquatic notes, while still remaining refreshing and very summery. To me, it's your dream tropical summer holidays in a bottle! As soon as I smell it, I immediately think of sipping my favourite mocktail on the beach as the scent itself is very uplifting and ready to help you create beautiful memories. While most summer scents are very heavy on the coconut notes, I really enjoy the addition of Mango here as it's definitely the centre of this fragrance and helps it to stand out from other bottles in the same category. Overall, I am really impressed with this perfume as it lasts 8+ hours on skin and I'm enjoying the creaminess of the Coconut blended beautifully well with the sweet and fruity Mango opening. I intend to wear this for the remaining of the summer and take it with me on any of my upcoming holidays. I definitely recommend you trying this fragrance out if you enjoy the fruitiness of the Mango note as it's very present in this scent and does not disappoint!

This is an amazing perfume i can't even find the words... I received this about 3 weeks ago and since then it is still as amazing. I'm not sure but i feel like Soki's perfumes are already macerated when they arrive because they last so long. This is even better and surpasses Guerlain's coconut fizz or any other coconut scent out there. Early this year i was waiting for Miu miu fleur de lait to come out here in London and i tested it in Harrods, The scent was nice but super weak and so I refrained from purchasing, since early this year i was craving a mango coconut fragrance and then Soki revealed she would be releasing Aphrodite, i've been dreaming of it ever since. This is a Juicy Milky Mango with the most Lactonic Coconut... Amazing value for the price and i feel so blessed to have bought this for its price, it smells worth over £200+. Bottle and cap is 10/10 Atomizer 10/10 Scent 10/10 Longevity 10/10 This perfume is my antidepressant, I want to purchase backup bottles as soon as I get the chance to.

To me there was something in the opening that reminded me of morning chess. Maybe it was the combination of mango, lotus and palm. It opens fruity but not too sweet. The mango at different times reminded me of xerjoff cruz del sur and escada taj sunset and then there was a stage where it was more shampooy fun when it mixed with the coconut water. I get coconut water rather than coconut. I really like this. It suits my skin well... I may potentially get a back up. I think this will suit a broader audience than empress. Very well done...def does not smell cheap. The scent evokes more eating tropical fruit by a big waterfall in a tropical location rarher than the sea though...so if you are scared of ozonic notes, don't be as they are not prominent.

I just received my bottle and I am IN LOVE with this fragrance! The opening is so very fun and flirty, the initial mango is not sharp or acidic but creamy and fresh, thanks to the lotus addition, I must say, very clever!. As it develops, you can start to perceive the palm leaves stepping into the scene along with the beautiful coconut note, very elegant and inviting. The aquatic notes keep the perfume smelling fresh, summery and hip. A very well done fragrance that invites you to live, to have fun and transports you to beautiful places. Will be my signature fragrance for the remaining days of Summer! Great job Soki!
